Reverse sign of some characteristic values

Question

Hi experts,
The user wants to see a key figure for some characteristic values as positive but, this value, is negative.
We don't use this characteristic on selections or formulas, we use it on free characteristics, so we can't use the reverse sign option.
is there any way to do it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can do this in both ways:
Back End:
Write a routine as follows:
Considering the same example which you have given.
If char value = A1 then key figure = KF x -1
else result = KF.
Front End:
A. Create two restricted key figures:
1. Restrict the first one for value A1, say RKF name is RKF1
2. Restrict the second with value not equals to A1,  say RKF name is RKF2
B. Create two calculated key figures:
1. first calculated key figure will be CKF1 = RKF1 x -1
2. second calculated key figure will be CKF2 = RKF2 x 1
C. Now use table interface to join the two columns.
You can refer the below attached document for Table interface....
